Thai Mainhard: Paradise
My approach to art is raw and intuitive, each mark relying on a feeling and eternalizing it in mediums, bridging the gap from brain to the heart to ultimately make us feel connected to our spirit. It’s a faith based approach - hoping it all translates into the surface and that it somehow brings resolve, peace and hope in the midst of the chaos.
-Thai Mainhard
Painter Thai Mainhard's exhibition Paradise features lush expressionistic gardens and botanicals. Born in Brazil and based in Hawaii, Mainhard is naturally drawn to the rich patterns and textures of the jungle. Painting is an instinctive extension of Mainhard’s being. Her newest body of work explores colorful botanicals and their vessels. In each painting tension rises as she captures the rich textures, vibrant colors, and lush patterns that makeup each emotionally rich abstracted composition.
